young minister who was spending hi.

MY own father died lyin' right on
that lounge uadcr the window. Poor
pa! He was a Specritualist. and he
allus said he'd appear in this room
again after he died; and sometimes
I'm foolish enough to look for him. II
you should see any thing Of him to-
night. you'd better not tell me; for

something in Speeritualism, and I'd

II was you, I'd speak up good and
loud, SOS to let hev see that you've got
voice Of your own. The louder you
hollcr the better she'll like YOU" he
added. with slight twinge of his not
over-scnsitive conscience. For though
it was true that Miss Smith was un-
dcniably hard Of hearing in her right
ear, persons speaking little above
their ordinary tone had no particular
difficulty in making themselves heard
Tad resolved that II this was the case,
he would place himself without delay
on the topmost round of Miss Smiths
affections; and little more was said, as
they had now arrived at CNcir now
place Of destination.
Miss Smiths house was high,
squarc-roofed building. sadly in need
of painting, standing little back from
the road. II had one immense CHM
ney at the very apex of the roof, and a
low, old-fashioncd piazza on the west
ern front. Two great elm-,rees bent
prOtectingly over 1t, an orchard, OF
gnarled apple-trees was In the rear,
the vegetable garden at one side, and
a small yard in front, where, rs the
two boys entered the gate, Miss Smith
herself was raklng away the dead
leaves from bcd Of upspringing GRO
cuses.
At their approach Miss Smith threw
her sun-bonnet back. and, striighten-
ing up the rakc-handlc, stood stiflly
erect, clasping it between her glovcd
hands-somcthiug like the manner Of
a sentinel with his muskct when not on
active duty-as she stared very hard at
Tad. whose heart was beating furiously.
$50 this is the boy" she said, in an
uncompromising sort Of voice-hcr re-
mark seemingly addressed to herself
"humpHr
"How old are you, Tad9" suddenly
shricked Miss Smith, with such uneN-
pccted energy that mechanically Tad
clapped his hands to his ears.
"Fourtccn-in my fifteenth year,
shouted Tad. whose face became quite
crimson through the exertion. So did
Joes, but from different cause.
